Risk of Hypothyrodism Rises With Quitting

This is what I'm reading about this morning--blood test results.  I need to see my doctor yet, but I have been feeling something isn't right.  I've gained more weight than most since I quit.  I contacted my doctor and had multiple blood tests.  

.4 - 4.50. is normal range for TSH/Thy.Stim.Horm   Mine is 68.87  

Low Free T4 is also a sign. Mines low.

I have to contact my doctor today for confirmation, but this is frustrating quitting and it causing other illnesses.
